April is the Autism Awareness Month.
The Inspiration Group of CHS animated the Mass on April 16, 2023. With their various talents and gifts, the youth and children of the Inspiration Group participated as cantors, lectors and prayed the prayer of the faithful at Mass. They also made offertory of bread and wine.
In his homily, Parish Priest Father Joachim Robert said, “And here we see, dear friends, the acceptance of God in our human condition, the inclusion of God in His mission and the encouragement of God in the way we move forward. And these three words, dear friends, accept, inclusion and encouragement is what the support group of our inspiration in the parish has for itself.”
“As we celebrate Autism Awareness Month, we see how each and every one of us are a gift towards one another. How each and every one of us are people who are graced by God, we are differently-abled, differently wired perhaps, with different gifts and talents. But each one of us are deeply loved with the immense love of God. And that is God’s mercy.” he added.
A short video was shown to parishioners to understand what is autism and how we as people of faith can encourage each and every one of us to be participant in this mission that Christ has entrusted to the church.
